My Brother -in-law has a nice stock Neon sport (01 I think) 2.0 DOHC. I think they are rated at 135hp. Its a auto too. He was bragging that his neon is pretty gutsy for a little car. We work at the same place, so one evening on the way home i'm sittin at the light waiting to turn onto the highway. He's right behind me. I didnt really think he would try to run me! The light changes and i take off normally and notice he's right on my ass! OK! time to fly! I punch it and begin to pull shortly after shifting into second. By the time igot off the onramp, he was 4 or 5 cars back!
Another instance we were side by side on the highway doing about 70 and we put the hammer down. I drop to third from fith and wind her up to 7k and shift out at 90. I was a car length byth time i shifted! We have repeated this numerous times. The neon sport cant hang! He told me later,"Man that little car jumps fast!" Hahaha! What fun!
